Four Al Qaida men sentenced to life for 1998 embassy attacks
In New York a federal court handed life without parole to Wadih El Hage Khalfan Khamis Mohamed Mohamed Al Owhali and Mohamed Sadeek Odeh for the August 1998 twin embassy bombings in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi. The judge also ordered $33 million restitution per defendant, with funds potentially seized from al Qaida assets. The verdict labeled extremist violence a grave threat while prosecutors linked the plot to Osama bin Laden.
